International Tiger Day is being celebrated on 29 July every year all around the world. This day is also celebrated as Awareness Day to prevent the extinction caused due to poaching. It is due to poaching and destruction of forests that the number of tigers has dropped significantly in various countries.
India currently accounts for 70 percent of the total tiger population in the world.
The idea of ‘International Tiger Day’ was born in 2010, at the Tiger Conference in St. Petersburg, and it was decided that it would be celebrated every year on 29 July.
